  • Description

    'Divide and Conquer' is the fourth album by Melbourne based composer Johannes Luebbers' Dectet (JLD). The album marks the end of an ambitious 10 x 10 x 10 project, spanning 10 works for 10 players to celebrate 10 years of music making with the ensemble. The album is the second and final installment of the project, featuring five wildly original tracks and some of Luebbers' best work. The group showcases some of Australia's most exciting soloists including pianist Andrea Keller, trumpeter Paul Williamson and saxophonist Angela Davis.

    Winner of the 2011 'Young Australian Jazz Artist of the Year' (Australian Jazz 'Bell' Awards) and the 2011 'Jazz Work of the Year' (APRA/AMC Art Music Awards), Johannes Luebbers has established himself as one of Australia's most distinctive jazz composers. Supported by the Australia Council for the Arts and Monash University, Divide and Conquer is the fourth studio album with his ensemble, the Johannes Luebbers Dectet (JLD). Throughout his career he has been the recipient of numerous other awards including the 2009 'Youth Arts West Australian Citizen of the Year', 2009 'Best Australian Jazz Composition of the Year' (Bell Awards), 2008 'Jazz Song of the Year' (WA Music Industry Awards), the 2006 'APRA Professional Development Award' for jazz and in 2018 was a finalist for the APRA/AMC Jazz Work of the Year. In addition to his creative practice, Luebbers is an active educator and researcher and is currently Convenor of Composition and Music Technology at the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music, Monash University.
